I was having a pipe in the living room. I think Ziggy [Abrahim] and Dylan were in the living room with me. Zayd, Mick and Tony were in the kitchen talking. We had our pipe and then we got off.

I couldn't tell you, a lot.
It keeps me awake really. I'm having my pipe, chilling. I'd been up for two or three days. I was alright. I was aware what was going on around me.
Just the usual. Chatting s****. Mick waffling on. His usual s****. Crack talk basically, nothing out the ordinary.
